100 Mile House Attractions

 
100 Mile House (930 m (3052 ft)), a center for the remote ranches round about and the site of two modern saw-mills, gets its name from the old Cariboo Waggon Road. This is where the "100 Mile Roadhouse" was opened in 1862. One of the original red Bernard's Express mail coaches stands in front of the Red Coach Inn as a reminder of the past. In 1912 the Marquess of Exeter purchased more than 6000 ha (15,000 acres) of land around here for his extensive Bridge Creek Ranch, which the family still owns.

The historical 108 Mile House, 13 km (8 mi.) north of here, is currently a Heritage Site Museum.
